Life and AD&D insurance

Basic life and AD&D cost you nothing

Autodesk provides basic life and AD&D coverage of 1x your annual salary, with a minimum coverage of $50,000. This coverage is provided automatically at no cost to you.

Keep in mind that the IRS considers the cost of any basic life insurance coverage over $50,000 to be taxable income, otherwise known as imputed income. If you have basic life insurance coverage greater than $50,000, the value will be treated as taxable income and will be included on your pay statements and on your W-2. View this tip sheet for more information about imputed income.

Supplemental employee life and AD&D

You can purchase supplemental life and AD&D coverage of up to 7x your annual salary, to a maximum of $2,000,000 each for basic and supplemental coverage. You may elect different amounts for life and AD&D. View the costs for all coverage levels.

Evidence of insurability (EOI)

EOI, sometimes called proof of good health, is required in certain circumstances. You’ll need to provide EOI by answering medical questions if you select coverage that is over 5x your annual salary. You’ll also need to provide EOI if you newly elect supplemental life insurance coverage or increase by more than one level during annual open enrollment or a life event.
